i ll correct myself then, i havent figured out how and where i want to tape them off and what i would like to do for prep phase of painting the door handles

 

Here are a few pictures after i had mine done a few weeks ago while having my fenders replaced. Only charged my an extra $100 for both sides.

 

Hey Vince! What fenders you running now?

 

Hi Mark, how you been?? I'm currently running Ing's cf fenders (one off).

 

^+1

Had mine done as well. Might be cheaper if you remove them yourself and take them in to get done.

I wouldn't recommend trying to paint them while still on the car for 2 reasons.

1) Potential over spray on the body

2) You wont get it all painted missing spots or trying to get it in the gaps and getting drips.

 

nice, i like the painted to match door handles

 

Definitely have a shop do it... at least that way you can get the work warrantied. I had my whole car painted a few months ago; they did the handles free. Twas very nice of them...

 

^ nice just wonder what they may have looked like in Bronze?????

 

Mark can you still sort me out with the spair set of handles you have?

I defo want them!

 

since we're talking about paint. What do you guys recommend for the roof? Vinyl or paint?

 

That is beautiful! Black is awesome, that is something I want to do with mine eventually.


Saw this on readers garage by chance:

Got mine done by a body shop too....someone ran into my door so I asked how much to get the handles done when they were fixing the door and they said theyd take care of it no charge =)

 

Very sick guys. Johny where u get the tails and signals done?

 

Paint!

 

Wondered how long it would take you to show up!! Just got to get Jons done in Ebisu and then get his originals back and get your matt ones done

 

Body Shop aswell....believe the guy used VHT Niteshade

 

3fiddyzed...... the paint will give me the wet look I'm searching for? Just for the heads up. I have a cf hood, smoked out tails 5% tint and black center with carbon outer wheels. The car is dark grey would it look good? Any pics of something similar would be good.

 

how long did it take the body shop to paint the door handles and let the paint cure before they could put them back on the car

 

3 Days, 3 coats I think.. He dropped them off and they went on a few hours later... But I think the Matt will cure quicker than the gloss.. May be wrong though..

 

Personally I would go for a carbon overlay on the roof to tie up with the hood, but if your looking for a wet look then paint is the way forward... better than a vinyl...

Post up a decent pic that shows the roof and someone or myself may be able to photoshop it for you...
